Olive?

Olive?

Olive?

Hey. Hey.

- Hey, Mr. H. - Jimmy.

You know what, hold on. While I got you,

I found this at a… at a rest stop on the road trip over here.

I was wondering if you could give it to her.

It's a sticker. It's a sticker that has an olive on it saying, "Olive you."

- That's clever. - Yeah.

She loves puns, so I was really moved by that.

Hey, Jimmy, I'm gonna give it to you man to boy.

- Please, yeah. - Okay.

I don't know that Olive is ever gonna talk to you again.

So, if I were you, I would pack up your camp and just throw it all into that truck

and go do whatever it is Jimmy does, yeah?

I have nothing without your daughter.

The way things ended between us, I feel very strongly that

this has been one big misunderstanding.

And I'm not ready to let her go.

Goodbyes are hard, Jimmy.

I mean, don't you have a job or something to get back to?

Not in a traditional sense, no.

I did recently receive a hefty settlement from Taco Bell.

I signed an NDA, so I'm not at liberty to speak about the details of the case,

but I'm out.

Let you form your own conclusions.

I'm on disability now, in addition to having been awarded $1,600 in Baja bucks,

so that's been a good safety net.

Great, great.

Well, I mean, it sounds like you're living the dream, Jimmy.

Look, Mr. H, hey, I just want to say, I get it, man.

I know what your family probably says about me.

"It's GED Jimmy."

You know, "Look, guys, it's trapped in a hammock Jimmy.

Hey, Jimmy's here, hide the fuckable pillows."

I just want to fix things with Olive.

More than anything in the world,

so I promise to stay out of your guys' hair,

but until she's ready to talk, I'll be right there.

Okay, Jimmy. Well, we'll see you down the road.

Yeah.

Love you.

Roger Dodger, my man.

I might have a date lined up for you, brother.

Sorry, Woody. Mail emergency. Can't talk.

No looking. Just stand here.

- Whose hand was that? - No. Just…

- This way? - Turn this way.

- Blindfold on. - Okay. Okay.

Olive, Olive, you ready to record?

Sure am. All right.

This is so romantic.

Can someone just tell me what's going on?

- Now, Dad? - Hit it, Riv.

Oh, my God.

This is so ridiculous.

That the actual car from Dazed and Confused?

Yes, it is. Melba toast in the flesh. This is so cool.

All right, watch this part. This was my idea.

That's what I love about homeschool girls, man.

I get older,

they stay at home.

You are so stupid.

I said it before, and I'll say it again,

that boy looks banging in that old wig of mine.

Not as good as he looks in my pants.

Would you like to go to the school dance with me?

Be a lot cooler if you did.

Yeah, fine, yeah, I'll go with you.

Dad, she…

Yes, yes! Yes!

That's right.

All right! All right! All right! All right!

It's just three, Riv. Remember the copyright.

You look so hot, baby.

Nope. No compliments, Jimmy. I'm not ready yet.

Stop smiling!

Stop being so lovable, maybe.

Well, he is resilient. You got to give him credit for that.

You know, you can't say he doesn't try.

Yeah, okay. I mean, I am just not ready to talk to him yet.

And if he comes over to me with those sweet, soft, little puppy eyes,

I'm gonna cave, and I just need more time.

Okay. I just want to make sure you're not running just to run.

You know, that would be the Harrelson move.

No, I'm obviously not.

And besides, all of my focus and attention is on Kai today.

I want to make sure that I'm there for her, you know.

Jimmy be damned.

Gut check on this.

There's nothing weird about Kai and Wyatt together, right, because she's adopted?

- No. It's fine. - Yeah.

- They're not, like, related by blood. - Right, right.

- Yeah. - Still feels a little weird, but--

Speaking of blood…

- is this it? - Yeah, that's it.

It has arrived.

Okay, so open it.

Come on, what are you waiting for? That's exciting, right?

Yeah.

Are you still worried Matthew's gonna freak out?

Well, you know, I was thinking about what you said earlier

about it being Kai's big day and the dance,

and I don't think we want anything to overshadow that,

not Jimmy, not the test results.

So, we'll focus on Kai now, and we'll… we'll get to this thing later.

- Exactly. - Exactly.

Exactly.

Hey, kiddo.

Big day, huh?

Big, big, big, big, big, big day.

If you need anything, any help, whatever, I'm here for you.

I got nothing on the docket. Totally focused on you. What do you need?

Okay. No, yeah. I'm good.

- Thanks, Dad. Yeah. - Cool. Cool. Cool.

Hey, because, you know, it's all about you and Wyatt.

But you and I could do something, like, you know, we never…

we never had that talk, you know, we never talked.

Do you want to talk?

- No, seriously, Dad. - Or just hang out.

You want to see how many cherry tomatoes we can stuff in our mouths?

I mean, I can do a lot.

- Yeah. Okay. Yeah? - Or have you ever been to the Alamo?

Dad, I'm good. Everything's cool.

- Yeah. - Okay.

Everything is a disaster.

What? Why am I even doing this? This is, like, my worst nightmare.

- What the fuck is happening here? - I have nothing to wear.

They're all gonna think I'm one of those, like, weird homeschooled kids

that wears cat ears, and suspenders, and talks in a baby voice,

and hisses at people. Oh, my God.

- Wyatt won't care what you wear. - Oh, yeah. You sure about that?

He thinks you're cute no matter what.

That's really sweet.

But this is a high school dance, all right.

- Everyone's gonna be judging you. - How is this supposed to help me?

You need to borrow my clothes.

Oh, shit, okay, well, thank you.

Even my worst stuff is better than anything you own.

That feels a little less generous.

You okay with all this Jimmy stuff?

Look, I'm gonna help you, okay?

'Cause I'm a good person with really hot clothes.

Me too.

The good person part. I'm not allowed to wear hot clothes yet.

Okay.

So, good time to talk about the female anatomy.

- Yeah. - So, when and if you, you know,

are in a position to be touching any part of that,

you won't be as intimidated. Cool?

- Right. - All right, check this out.

I got a whole bunch of magazines that cover the gamut of nudity and naked women.

- So, we're gonna start with it. - This is a lot.

- Too much? - Yeah.

All right, let's just go straight to the source here.

Teenage female bodies.

Whoa, just heard what I said. That's not a good idea.

That would not be good for a governor run.

Back to the basics here.

Dad, I don't think this is what I need right now.

Sorry, it's just a lot of information that…

- All right. You know what? - …I don't…

- Let's take a breath here… - Okay.

…look.

You like Kai, and she likes you.

- Yes, sir. - That's beautiful.

That's the beginning of intimacy. All right?

Take your time, move slow.

You know, and if she ever hesitates or you ever hesitate,

just stop, play it for another day, you know.

I mean, intimacy is a mutual green light situation

for the man and a woman, all right?

Okay, so since you did something cheesy for her,

she really wanted to do something cheesy for you.

She did?

Olive, I'm going to kill you.

She is not coming out.

Okay. Maybe less that she wanted to, and more like we forced her to.

Ah, the staircase entrance before the big dance.

A classic rom-com trope, which I should know something about.

Okay, okay, fine, fine. Here I go.

Wow!

- Beautiful, Kai. - Kai.

- I think you look really great, Kai. - Thanks.

- Kai! - You okay?

Oh, no, I'm good. I'm good.

I'm good. You're making it worse. I'm great.

God, this is why I don't wear fucking heels.

Language.

You can lean on me here. Grab my shoulder.

Okay, okay…

What is he doing?

Wyatt, you're gonna have to grab her by her waist.

- I got it. Thank you. - What? Okay, okay. All right.

Okay.

Wyatt, papi, use your arms.

- She's too heavy. I'm too weak. - Okay.

I feel like I shouldn't be watching this.

Like they're basically dry humping.

Are they gonna have chaperones at this dance?

They are. Actually, I'm one of them.

But, you know, if they sneak off in a quiet corner by themselves,

I might just have to turn a blind eye.

There's their ride. Let's go see 'em off.

Hey, I'm gonna mosey on over to the dance tonight.

What? Wood, no, do not mess this up, all right?

They are good kids. They're gonna be fine. All right?

- Don't ruin it by being a narc. - A narc?

I'm the opposite of a narc I'm an anarchist.

I just wanna be helpful, and if I stay here, I might just go insane.

So, I'll just look after our daughter like a good, chill dad,

lurking in the shadows in case shit goes down.

"Lurking in the shadows." What are you, a vampire?

Hey, Kai, don't worry, you don't have to be nervous.

Please. Do you think I care that nobody knows me here,

and I'm wearing my sister's clothes,

and I'm limping around like I have fucking gangrene or something?

I'm not worried about what high school kids think.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- Jesus Christ, they're coming over. - Hey, Wyatt.

- Hey, guys. - Hi.

- Who's this? - This is date.

Sorry, this is…

- This is my date. Their… Her name is Kai. - Yeah.

What's up, motherfuckers? Ready to get fucking fucked?

So, how did you two meet?

- Well, we actually met as babies. - Yeah, I live at his house.

- Yeah, she lives at my house. - You live together?

Oh, no, not like that.

- No, no, no, she lives on a bus. - No.

Yeah, I live in a bus at his house.

My dad's like his uncle. His dad's like my uncle.

- What? - No, not like…

- Oh, no, no, no… - We're not…

- …our dads are best friends. - We're not…

- Our dads are best friends. - They're right over there.

- Hey, Dad. - Yeah.

Your dad's the guy from Venom?

Your dad's been in my nightmares.

Mine too. Yeah, it's…

Okay, well, see you.

- Nice to meet you. - Yeah.

Give that social interaction a solid D+.

Look, Kai, I know that you're feeling a bit anxious--

No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

- You're fine? - Yeah.

- Yeah, I'm fine. - Okay.

I'm gonna go over, see if they have any punch or something,

and I'll be right back.

- Okay, great, cool. - Okay?

Wyatt? Where you at? How we doing, buddy?

- Yeah, things are okay. - Why am I catching you without your date?

- Where's Kai? - Kai, she's over there.

I'm getting her some punch. I think she's kind of feeling out of place.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's understandable, dude. This is your turf.

You are gonna have to run lead on this, you know what I mean?

- Yeah, yeah. - And I know it's been a minute or two

since I've been in high school.

Game may have changed, but I promise you, the players are the same.

You want to stand out, right?

You want to separate yourself from the pack.

Own the dance floor.

Oh, no, no, no, look, Kai's on a crutch.

I don't think that's gonna be us tonight.

No, no, no, no, no. Trust me, Wyatt, this will work.

Just listen to the music.

There's nothing a woman finds more sexy

than a dude who's got the stones to shake his own thing on the dance floor…

- For sure. Right. Yeah. - …alone. Follow me. Come on now.

Come on, come on. Don't think about it. Just move.

This ain't about thought.

Shake it out. Ha! Loosen up the jaw, baby.

Loosen up the hips. Come on.

Hip. There we go. Lubricate, lubricate.

Any beat, any move you make is a good move, man, as long as it's on beat.

Loosen up. Be free, baby.

There you go. Now let's take that to center court.

- Here we go. Here we go. - Center.

Right this way, right this way. Turn around, turn around,

turn and keep your eyes on her.

Own that space, baby. Own that space.

Hey, and look her in the eye, okay? Let her know it's all for her, bro.

No, no, no.

Olive!

It's just me, baby. It's Jimmy.

Yes, I know. I can see you.

You can see… From where you're sitting, you can make me out?

Yes.

That's really impressive, baby. I got… I'm at least 50 yards away.

No, you're a lot closer than that.

No, don't… don't shortchange yourself, baby.

That's incredible, really.

You're much better than me at gauging distances, so I defer to you.

Do I have your consent to maybe take a few steps closer?

- Jimmy, just walk. - Thank you. I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry. I was so thirsty, I went to sip some water from the hose,

but there was some kind of nest under there now.

I don't know if it's hornets or wasps, but they got their licks in.

I'm not allergic, which is good, but I also don't feel great.

Jesus fucking Christ. Here, just…

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Is that… Is there's more in the tea…

Oh, my God.

Holy shit, I'm sorry.

I don't think I realized how dehydrated I was until I had the first sip.

I've been drinking a lot of that hose water,

- and I'm starting to quest-- - Jimmy.

Yeah, sorry, I'll leave you to it.

I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry.

Last thing, and then I'm gonna leave you alone, I promise.

I know you're hurting.

And I want to give you the space that you asked for.

The way that you left, I can't imagine how heartbroken you are.

But I'm hurting too, you know.

And I can't… I don't think we can fix it unless we talk about it.

I just love you, Olive. I love you like nothing else.

Mrs. Ogilvy.

Woodrow.

Hey.

Man, teachers at this school are freaks.

You see that maniac right there?

Yeah, she just got me to hotbox the faculty lounge.

I think the gym teacher stole something from Nancy Pelosi's office.

You're a tough crowd, aren't you?

Dude, I got it.

Hey,

I'm gonna be honest with you,

I wasn't the most present dad in the world,

but I really want to be there for you now, especially today.

I'm here for anything you wanna ask. I don't know, like…

Like menses, you know, that's got to be coming up.

- Any questions? - Just…

Okay, I'm gonna stop you immediately.

Look, I guess I appreciate the spirit of what you're trying to do here,

but, wow, is it really not the time.

Plus, I already had this conversation with Mom like six years ago.

I would've loved to have been a part of it.

You were very much invited to be part of it.

I don't recall that--

Look. It's okay. Okay?

I think it's really sweet that you are trying to do it now,

surrounded by Wyatt's classmates,

but it's just so not what I need right now.

So I'm gonna hobble away, and I don't want you to follow me.

And this is, like, a for real don't follow me situation,

not, like, a fake don't follow me situation.

Just focus on your own shit, okay?

Wyatt! Wy!

Hey.

How you doing, bud? Where's Kai?

I don't know. I'm trying to find her now.

Oh, no, no, buddy, that's what we talked about.

You can't keep losing your date, man.

All right? You can't leave your date behind--

Hey, Dad, can you just give me some space for like one second, please?

Sorry, look, you've helped me so much.

I mean, everything I've done, everything I've done is 'cause of you.

You've brought me there. Thank you.

Thank you.

But I've got it.

Yes, yes, sir.

Yes, sir, you do.

Go get it.

If you need something, I'm here.

Amber. How's your mom?

Hey, Kai.

I hope you didn't vault your way up there on that mangled ankle.

You doing all right? You're not having a good time?

No, it's a dream come true.

All right…

- I'll give you your space. - No, no, please don't.

What's up?

I feel really out of place.

I feel like I'm this caged animal or something,

and I'm finally led into the wild and I just have no idea how to survive.

Well, I see it differently.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, you're the one that's been running wild,

and this is the cage, you know what I mean?

I mean, you're a rock star, Kai.

You're a one of one.

I mean, I don't know anybody even close to your age that owns their lane

- as much as you do. - Yeah, yeah, all right.

Yeah. No, the wild ones do not fit in, girl.

And not that I ever took you for someone who cared that much about fitting in.

Well, most of the time I don't.

Look, I'm not saying you don't have insecurities, all right?

We all got insecurities.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

- Yeah, what are your insecurities? - We're not talking about me.

Yeah, you don't have any.

You're running for governor, for God's sake.

I do too.

I got quite a few. You don't think I've got any insecurities?

Every single day I'm wondering if I'm being a good enough husband.

Wondering if I'm being a good enough dad, and I don't know if I am.

I mean, look, you get big moments like today with Wyatt, you know.

Maybe I overstepped my bounds a little bit,

maybe a little too much in the foreground, but I just…

I want him to know that I'm always going to be there for him.

He knows that.

I hope so, yeah.

You know, we all got our own way of doing things,

and we should just embrace how we roll.

I hope you never fit in, girl. Do it your way.

I'm betting on you.

Okay.

I do actually need some help getting down.

How the hell did you get up?

There you are.

Yeah, it's me, date.

Hey, I'm sorry I abandoned you.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry that I aggressively danced at you.

Yeah, it was aggressive.

I mean, honestly, you were just like dead-eying me

like a fucking serial killer or something.

Well, it's my bad, but

it's easier with a partner.

How's about this, huh?

Yeah. How's about this, huh?

You know, you're a great dad.

Your kids love you so much that they all want to be little Matthews.

I hope so, you know, at least most of the time.

You know, sometimes I think I keep too tight of a leash on them, you know.

Maybe put some unnecessary pressure on them like tonight with Wyatt.

You know, like you, man. You leave a long leash with your kiddos,

and, you know, it kind of forces them to be individuals.

I mean, like take Kai, for example. Look at her, man.

Girl's on crutches and she comes to a dance

where she doesn't know one single person.

That, sir, is self-confidence.

Yeah. She's amazing.

Guess this is one rodeo we did sign up for.

Yes, we did.

Look at this.

Can you believe those two guys are chaperoning a high school dance?

Jesus.

- Look at that stupid face, man. - Yeah, which one?

- The one next to mine. - Yeah, definitely.

You know, some day, we're gonna be nostalgic for this moment.

Well, now, I already am.

Let's get one.

All right. This time, do it for real.

That was for real.

No, you can… It's okay to look at the camera. There you go.

- Yeah, I'm looking at… - Open your eyes. Open your eyes.

No, no, no. Not that open.

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

How was the dance?

Well, not as rowdy as you might have hoped, you know.

I honestly think COVID did these kids dirty.

How was your night?

You know, strangely not bad.

Did you guys talk?

Yeah.

Okay, are we… are we gonna open it?

Wait. What--

No.

I don't need a piece of paper to tell me whether or not Matthew and I are brothers.

I know we're brothers, and that's good enough for me.

Now, I'm gonna go tell your mom how fucked up kids are today.

And you won't be looking either.

Nope. I'm just…

- recycling. - Fresh start.

Fresh start.

Promise.

I promise.

Fresh start.
